The fancy tall women clothing store

Yup, back in the days a Tall Women Clothing store meant wide loose silky shirts – you could find shoulder padded ones if you were being really luck – crazy patterned long pleated skirts with psychotic associations of colors and ugly shoes. Long live the 21st century.
There’s still room for improvement – especially in SHOES – but at least we tallies don’t have to dress like twice our age and twice our weight and twice our bad taste anymore, which is an appreciable increase after all. ;)

A few tall women clothing stores around the web :

Although selling their products as “perfectly proportioned for those who are 5’9″/1.75m and over”, which is far from ideal to me – speak directly to my almost 6′ or I don’t really feel concerned – ASOS Tall collection has some pretty nice clothes. Then of course there’s Alloy (link on the left) which I like A LOT, with all their jeans and pants and extra long maxi skirts, they really have everything you need. Also I recently found that Victoria’s Secret have several pants with 34″ and 36″ inseams. Good news, isn’t it?

Im 14 and Im about 5’7 and 1/2 or 5’8! I dont like that I’m getting there honestly. I have friends who are 15 and who are 5’10 but it doesn’t make anything better!! My doctor says that Im done growing and that I might grow a couple more inches but thats about it. I still wanna be short tho! :(

Hope you do more posts on clothing for tall girls! I’m 5 11 and I have a big butt so it makes it harder for me to find the right pants and tights. But what I’ve realized tho is that thigh highs work better than pantyhose because they don’t go all the way up the waist. I’ve bought from a few brands like M&S, longtallsally, and VienneMilano….The VienneMilano ones do stay up really good due to the silicon strips, even for my long legs…not sure if anyone else has tried it. But thank you for the post and def hope you write more on tall girls fashion.

It’s so great to meet people who know what it’s like to be so tall! I so have this problem when buying clothes, I mean I want to wear what everyone my age is wearing but that is exceedingly hard when one is 5’11 and 11 years old.

I love your site! Just found it today while looking for a social site for tall women. I can obviously relate is the reason. I’m 6ft tall and have a head full of curly hair. I just started a fashion Instagram and am working on getting a blog up for us tall folks to find shoes and clothes and hair stuff for curly hair too! Good luck in all you do! I will be back supporting!

I’m so excited I found this site!!! I’m 6’2″ with great big curly hair and to find someone who understands is amazing! These are great! Growing up I always striggles finding pants long enough and long sleeve shirts that didn’t look like 3/4 sleeve shirts! Most of my friends are these tiny things and when they compaire trying to find short pants to tall pants I want to rip my hair out! You can always hem clothes that are to long, there isn’t anything you can do for clothes that are to short!!

In my expirence, Silver Jeans and BKE jeans fit me the best because they come with 37″ inseams. Victoria’s Secret and Under Armour also seem to fit me well in the arms and waist. It’s no fun having to go up a shirt size (or 2) to get the arm length you need!

My pants were always above my ankles. At the time, my mom didn’t know that some places sold jeans for taller girls. This was also the time period where I chose to wear those outrageous patterned socks with all my pants. I owned one pair with actual vegetables printed on them. Everyone is looking at you when you have eggplants on your ankles.

There was also that time in gym class where the basketball bounced off the toe of my size 11 sneaker and rolled away. Everyone laughed as I chased the ball across the gym. -_-

Tallwomen.org has tons of sites for U.S and Europe for clothes and shoes for talls. It isn’t a fancy site but has great information. Tallswag.com had good information too. It is a blog but she models the clothes.

Ah, the memories. I remember being 14 and extra skinny, and buying size 14 or 16 jeans that would be at least cover my legs to my ankles. Such bliss having to wear extra baggy clothes when I wanted to look cute. At least I didn’t have shoe size problems. Now if only they can make bras my size that don’t look matronly….

I feel ya, growing up I was considered an Amazon in my family, but I’m only 5′ 7″. LoL I guess it was because I was taller than my mom and some of my aunts. But my grandmother always got me these pastel pink colored sweaters, uuuuggghhhh. To this day I still have a deep dislike for pastel colors. But my biggest issue I have is cute shoes, it’s hard finding cute shoes when you have long skinny feet. Ok that’s the end of my little rant. LOL

Your Auntie Lydia is sooooo my mother! I’m 27 and grew up about two hours from Calgary where the dreaded Tall Girl’s Shop lurked. Their clothes were for 5’9 to 6’0 middle aged women. The styles were dated even for that group maybe ‘matronly’ is the right word. They were well made and expensive, so she expected for them to last several years. Nothing line being super thin, 6’3, and super shy with those clothes. When I went shopping with the other girls I would look at bags and scarves while they were trying things on that fit. I got really good at knowing what looked good on a 5’4 teen and had no idea what should work for me. I did have some tall men’s jeans that my aunt tailored that were even more embarrassing, but that us another story.

I wish I could sew well and knew pattern making, but today is soooo much better, except for the shoes. But thank you for making me remember how bad it was. Progress is sweet!!

I hope in ten years girls who are teens now will talk about shoes in the same way:)

I laughed so hard reading your message and I still am and I’m not even sure why !! :D Awwwww poor girl….. tall men’s jeans tailored by your aunt….??!! I don’t know why but I’m literally LAUGHING OUT LOUD trying to picture this…. feels like I’ve been through the same kind of feelings through all my teenage years uuuuuughhhhhhh !! Oh and

I got really good at knowing what looked good on a 5’4 teen and had no idea what should work for me.

Oh my god, your aunt Lydia could be my titi (aunt) Alba. I just knew as I was scrolling I’d see something like that outfit. Ohhhh, the flashbacks. Its like they thought the only tall women were old librarians or something. And oh, how I hated the shoulder pads. My aunt used to change my clothes as soon as my parents dropped us off. I never understood where she expected me to wear that stuff at. P.S. My hair got ‘fixed’ as well because obviously my mother didn’t know how to properly tame the beast.
